The Workplace Obstacles Women Still Face — And What Raina Gandhi Says Actually Moves the Needle

Workplace equality for women has come a long way — and still has further to go than most organizations are willing to admit. The stereotypes that linger, the imposter syndrome that disproportionately affects capable women, the generational gaps that create friction rather than mentorship, and the leadership models that were built for someone else entirely — none of these are solved by a diversity initiative alone. Raina Gandhi is a speaker, leadership coach, and founder of Rising Tide Consulting who has spent her career working with women navigating exactly these obstacles — and what she shares with Stacey Chillemi about the practical strategies that combat imposter syndrome at its root, how to lead authentically in environments that were not designed with you in mind, and how to build the supportive professional network that accelerates advancement rather than just surviving it will give you the most practically grounded and personally empowering women's workplace conversation you have encountered. The ceiling is still there for many women. This episode focuses on what actually breaks through it.
